Original Prompt

a 2 week lesson plan with four lessons a week for year 7 and 8 students learning about how to make connections in their reading. Can I have a text for lvl 2-4 with prompts to help them start making connections between themselves, the world and to another text

This resource focuses on enhancing students' reading comprehension by teaching them to make meaningful connections with the texts they engage with. It outlines three main types of connections: text-to-self, where students relate text to their own life experiences; text-to-text, which involves linking one text to another book, movie, or article; and text-to-world, which connects the text to real-world events, history, or social issues. The resource provides detailed examples and prompts for each type of connection, encouraging students to reflect and write about their experiences. Activities such as partner discussions and independent writing exercises are included to reinforce these concepts and facilitate deeper understanding.
